Summary: Disappointing
Review: I am fan of Robert Kiyosaki, however I found this book very disappointing. The stories are so new that they really only talk about people making life-changing decisions in the last few years. It would have been better to tell stories about people who have spent at least 5 years utilizing Kiyosaki's principles, so we could see if their new life decisions were effective etc. Or, wait a bit longer and write about these people in a few years time. Two much better books to buy for stories about successful property investors would be two Australian books (and no, I have nothing to do with their authors or any company associated with their promotion):
(1) Jan Somers: Building Wealth Story by Story; and
(2) Jim McKnight: Ordinary Millionaires.

Summary: Great book - very inspiring
Review: I just finished reading Rich Dad's Success Stories and Rich Dad Poor Dad.Rich Dad's Success Stories was very inspiring. Great to see people from all walkd of life and different ages succeed and so quickly too! Rich Dad Poor Dad offers a paridimn shift and really sold me on the concept of starting my own business, getting into real estate and 86-ing my J-O-B which really does stand for just over broke.Rich Dad Poor Dad also got me to think of several creative income ideas. I will never go back to think the old way again.A friend of mine has the Rich Dad board game. I couldn't believe how poorly I did (that was before reading the books) and that was my wake up call. I was using Poor Dad thinking which explains why I wasn't getting anywhere. Now that I have read these two books, I am looking forward to playing the game again and then on to the more advanced game.More importantly, it's on to financial self reliance ala Kiyosaki.Thank you Robert for 2 outstanding books. I will be adding other RD books to my library soon. Your books are the only ones that I have bought that actually deliver on their promises....and then some.

Summary: My new favorite Rich Dad book
Review: I really enjoyed this book. So many stories and so much vital information. This eliminates the excuses of "I'm too old" or "I'm too Young" or "I don't have enough money" etc.Procrastinators should read the story the 60-ish couple who realized that it wasn't too late and they weren't too old. Or the 9 year old who starting with $20 of borrowed money started her own business. Yes, a 9 year old. Or the 13 1/2 year old who bought his first residential property; a 3 bedroom 2 bath home. You read that right--a 13 1/2 year old! I also enjoyed the story about the man who against the advice of his brokers, took money from his IRA and other securities before the big stock market crash in 2000 and invested it instead in real estate. Wise move! Real estate is a better investment than the stock market. It's been that way for the last 100 years and no likely to change anytime soon. Rich Dad Success Stories is a excellent book because it shows you people who have done it and are doing it. Check out these other financial books out there. Where are their success stories? This is now my favorite Rich Dad Book.

Summary: Reply to reviewer from Chicago
Review: I too was eagerly awaiting this new book by Kiyosaki. Tired of hearing allegations as to "who has really benefitted from his teachings" I eagerly bought this book and read this new addition to the Rich Dad series. I really think the reader from Chicago is missing the point. The fact is more wealth has been made in real estate than in any other venture. No other business or investment can compare. Writing books? C'mon now! Do you have any idea on how many books get turned down each year? And of those that are published, how many do you suppose really make any real money? Many of Kiyosaki's critics have been asking for evidence that his strategies work. Well here it is in Real Life Success Stories from Real Life People who followed the Rich Dad lessons.
Like it or not, this is how "Real People" are making "Real Money" in Real Estate. Perhaps in some future volume, Kiyosaki will profile business success stories and I look forward to those as well. But for the masses, Real Estate is the key. Good book Mr. Kiyosaki but I doubt this will silence your critics----too bad for them!

Summary: Thanks for sharing Mr. Kiyosaki
Review: While many people amass wealth, how many are willing to share their methods? And while there are many books available on how to suppossedly acquire wealth, how many are actually written by people who have done it? Robert T. Kiyosaki is a man who has done it and is willing to share the wealth with people like you and me. He also has the gift of being an excellent writer and teacher, just like his Rich Dad was a excellent teacher. In Rich Dad Success Stories you will find the proof that Kiyosaki's system really works. You'll read real estate success stories, business success stories and more. I even read a story of a 13 year old who bought a 3/2 condo! And there were people in their late 50's and 60's, suffering from corporate downsizing and broke from going through their savings who created super successful businesses. I highly recommend this book along with the original Rich Dad Poor Dad. This book and Mr. Kiyosaki was recommended to me by a friend. I have hence recommended Kiyosaki's books to 10 others who have bought and applied his teachings. Good stuff. It really works.
